McKell Park, Darling Point - A Waterfront Garden Wedding Venue with Harbour Views
Tucked away at the tip of Darling Point, McKell Park is a hidden gem among Sydney wedding venues with flowers and water views. With its terraced lawns, heritage sandstone steps, and sweeping views of Sydney Harbour, it’s perfect for an elegant yet relaxed outdoor wedding ceremony.

Whether you envision an intimate gathering under the shade of ancient trees or a grand celebration overlooking the glistening Sydney Harbour, this outdoor garden wedding venue ensures a seamless blend of elegance and natural splendour.
